Gaughan took a 5-1 record and 1.07 earned run average into the final week of the regular season, holding opponents to a .185 batting average over 32 2/3 innings as the Hillers battled for a Tri-Valley League championship. In addition to being one of the team’s top pitchers, Gaughan is “a leader on the bench when he’s not pitching,” coach Matt Anderson shared. “He’s an outstanding person as well as a player.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
